-Previously-
"So, what now?" Kei asked. "Do you accept me?" Kei asked. Hikari blushed some more, if that's possible.
Section 10: Finally! But…
"I…I…AHHHHHH!!!" Hikari shouted and she started to run away but was stopped when she heard Kei say something.
"Hikari! How long are you going to be blinded by your innocence?!" Kei said, seriously, looking intently at Hikari's back. Everyone was shocked to hear him raise his voice.
"KEI!" Akira shouted. "How dare you say that?!" She added, totally feeling bad for Hikari.
Hikari stopped running and she looked back at Kei. She saw him looking down at his feet.
'He's angry.' Hikari thought. 'I didn't mean to run away.' She continued to think while walking back to Kei. 'But I can't say these things to you.' Hikari thought. When she reached the place where she was before, she held Kei's hand. Kei looked up and he stared at Hikari.
"You didn't run away?" Kei asked. Hikari looked straight at his eyes.
"No, I guess not." Hikari said. "Sorry Takishima, it's just that I don't know how to deal with these things."
"I should be the one who's sorry. Sorry for all of this." Kei started his 'sorry' speech. "Sorry for all the pressure. Sorry for confusing you. Sorry for ev—"
"Shut up, Takishima." Hikari butted in. Kei looked up, frowning at Hikari. Hikari looked at him fiercely.
"I just need time to think okay?" Hikari said, letting go of Kei's hand and walking away. Kei stared at her retreating figure but she stopped midway, looked back and shouted.
"So, you just wait patiently for my answer!" Hikari said and with a bright smile, she added "Okay, Kei?" and walked away.
Kei's eyes widened at what he heard. He looked at her retreating figure and when she was out of sight, he leaned his whole body to Tadashi for support. His hands went up to his chest and he sighed. Everyone was silent. Then after a while, roars of voices were heard.
"That…really has great effect on me." Kei said to himself while catching his breath.
"What has?" Tadashi asked while supporting Kei's whole body.
"The way she calls me by my name." Kei explained, getting on his feet and regaining his composure.
"Really? So, that's why you get all…uhm.." Tadashi stopped, as he thought of a word to end his sentence.
"He gets all giddy and he blushes a lot." Megumi wrote on her board.
"Right! You're never like that when we call you by your name." Tadashi said, completely clueless. Kei turned his back on everyone but before he left, he smiled and said.
"There are a lot of people who calls me by my name." Kei started. "But only one can make it sound so special." Kei said with a sigh. He looked back at them and smiled. "Thanks for all your help guys. It's all worth it." And with that, he left them and went home.
"Wow. He's slowly becoming a poet." Ryuu laughed.
"I love it!!!! It's so sweet!!!" Sakura screamed.
"There are a lot of people who calls me by my name." Jun started, imitating Kei.
"But only one can make it sound so special." Tadashi finished, still imitating Kei. After a while, the guys laughed out loud.
"Well, at least, it finally reached Hikari." Akira smiled and the rest enjoyed the night.
~After a few days of waiting…~
It was 10 a.m. The S.A. students were peacefully doing their own things; Megumi and Jun hanging onto Ryuu, Tadashi feeding Akira, Hikari studying next to Kei and Kei tapping his mouse and typing on his laptop every now and then. It was quiet, really, really quiet.
"*yawn* aren't you all bored?" Tadashi said, stretching himself.
"I'm bored." Ryuu said.
"Same here." Jun said. "Me too." Megumi wrote.
"Do you have something in mind monkey?" Akira said, talking to Tadashi.
"I don't know." Tadashi said, putting his hand to his chin. "Let's go exploring." A loud punch was heard and Tadashi was seen flying out the window.
"EXPLORE BY YOURSELF, IDIOT!" Akira shouted.
Then, they heard a laugh. They looked around and saw Hikari laughing. Akira walked towards Hikari and looked at her.
"Why are you laughing Hikari?" Akira asked.
"Nothing, you two are such a weird couple." Hikari said, then she turned to Kei. "Right Takishima?" she asked. Kei looked at her seriously.
"Y-E-A-H" Kei said clearly, his evil aura building up. Everyone looked at him.
"What's the matter Kei?" Ryuu asked. Kei glared at him, then smirked.
"N-O-T-H-I-N-G" he said again, clearly.
"I see." Ryuu laughed nervously.
Akira, Ryuu, Jun and Megumi looked at Kei and Hikari then discussed the topic away from the two.
"Hey, hey, look at Hikari. It seems like she's forgotten that she have to answer Kei. Poor guy." Akira laughed evilly.
"Right, look at Kei's evil aura. I think he's pissed." Ryuu said. They nodded, they looked back again, then back to their circle.
"Kei is really good at controlling his anger." Jun said. They nodded and looked back at the 2 but when they did, they saw Kei smiling evilly at them so they went back to their circle. Everyone sweat dropped.
"He's scary. ='c " Megumi wrote. They stopped talking when they heard Hikari say, "Takishima, where are you going?" When they looked behind, they saw Kei smiling at them.
"I don't like that look." Ryuu said.
"Guys, I need one last favor." Kei said. They just nodded, then they formed a circle again and talked about it secretly. After a while, Akira shouted.
"WHAT?! I DON'T WANT TO!" She shouted. Megumi pulled her away from everyone and talked to her in private.
"C'mon Akira-chan. Let's just help them. Ok?" Megumi wrote. Akira cried waterfalls.
"Fine." Akira sighed.
Meanwhile, Hikari thought, 'They're always leaving me out nowadays!' The discussion ended and Hikari saw the guys all high-fiving. 'I wonder what they talked about.' She saw Kei leaving the green house with Ryuu and Jun. Akira and Megumi walked their way towards Hikari with smiles plastered on their faces.
"Where are they going?" Hikari asked.
"They're going to find my monkey." Akira said. Hikari's mouth formed a big "O".
"Hikari-chan." Megumi wrote. Hikari looked at her. Megumi smiled. "Do you like and/or LOVE Kei-kun?" she wrote, emphasizing the word 'love'. Hikari stared at what Megumi wrote, her jaw-dropped and she blushed.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Hikari shouted, she ran out of the green house and to who-knows-where. Akira and Megumi stared at the door of the green house.
"Oh, so that's how she takes it." Akira said.
"I guess we really need to be accomplices." Megumi wrote.
"Uhm, can you remind me again why I'm helping that monster Kei?" Akira asked. Megumi sighed.
"So that Hikari can find true love and happiness."
"Do you think she'll be happy?"
"Definitely."
~Next Day: Plan in Action – S.A. style ^_^~
"GOOOOOOD NEWSSSSSSSS!!!" Tadashi shouted. Everyone looked at him.
"What is it, Tadashi?" Akira asked, she was holding a cup of tea.
Tadashi smiled at Akira and walked over to her. He gave her a quick kiss on the lips before he read the good news. Akira was shocked, she accidentally poured all her tea on Tadashi's shirt.
"AHHH! MY SHIRT!" Tadashi cried.
"Well, Uhm..It's entirely your fault!" Akira said, irritated but blushing.
"It's alright, I did get my prize." Tadashi laughed, making Akira blush even more.
"So, what's the news?" Ryuu asked.
"Oh yeah. Mom said that we can go on a jet tour today to explore from above!" Tadashi said, enthusiastically.
"WOW! A jet! Really?!" Hikari stood up, smiling. Akira and Megumi exchanged glances, so did Ryuu and Kei.
"Yeah, Hikari-chan, have you ever been on a jet?" Megumi wrote.
"Nope! Can I go?" Hikari asked.
"Sure! Let's all go!" Akira butted in.
"Okay! Akira and I should be seated together!" Hikari smiled.
"Actually, Hikari-chan…" Ryuu started, Hikari looked at him.
"The director decided on who's going to sit with whom." Kei said, calmly.
"What? So, who is Akira sitting with?" Hikari asked, heart-pounding. 'This isn't good.' Hikari thought.
"Here it is. Mom wrote this seating arrangement." Tadashi said as he got a paper out of his pocket.
"Toudou Akira – Karino Tadashi pair." Ryuu read. Akira and Tadashi smiled as they held hands. Hikari looked at them. 'Just as I expected' Hikari thought.
"Yamamoto Megumi – Yamamoto Jun pair." Ryuu said. Megumi and Jun were smiling.
"So I'm paired up with you, Ryuu?" Hikari asked. Kei smiled as he stood up and walked beside Hikari. Ryuu smiled nervously at Hikari.
"I'm sorry Hikari, I have a client today, and I'm not going with you guys. So, you're partner will be…" Ryuu ended as he looked at Kei. Hikari felt the presence beside her and she looked up. She saw Kei smiling at her. Her mouth was wide-open and Kei had to push her chin up to close it. He smiled.
"A fly might get into it." Kei said.
"IS THIS A JOKE?!"
"Actually, no, it's not a joke. Here." Tadashi handed her a note.
S.A. students,
I am pleased to say that you are allowed to ride a jet today.
I arranged your seating arrangement according to you rank numbers.
So, Rank 1 – Takishima K. is seated with Rank 2 – Hanazono H., acting as the pilot and the co-pilot. The others are the passengers of the jet, Rank 3 – Yamamoto J. is seated with Rank 4 – Yamamoto M. and Rank 5 – Karino T. is seated with Rank 6 – Toudou A. Enjoy your day.
P.S. do not let Tadashi explore today or else there will be a punishment for all.
School Chairman,
Karino S.
Everyone dragged Hikari out of the green house. They were with their own partners while walking to the venue. Akira with Tadashi, Jun with Megumi and Hikari with Kei.
'Well, I guess this isn't bad. At least everyone's around.' Hikari thought. She wasn't looking at where she was walking, suddenly, she tripped.
"Wah!" Hikari shouted. She was going to fall when a hand caught her waist.
"You okay?" Kei asked, helping her to straighten up. Hikari backed off.
"Yeah, yeah..Perfectly Fine." Hikari smiled and walked straight. Kei looked at her and sighed.
'She's still feeling uncomfortable with me.' Kei thought, walking forward.
They reached the venue. Everyone stopped at the door of the jet. Hikari frowned while Kei just continued walking.
"Why did you all stop?" Hikari asked. Everyone smiled.
"Hikari, the pilot and the co-pilot should enter first." Akira smiled.
"Yeah, Hikari, after you close the door to the pilot's room, that's when we can enter." Tadashi said. Kei raised an eyebrow to them.
'Unbelievable, they're excellent liars.' Kei thought, holding his laughter. Hikari, being her, believed what they said.
"I see. Okay then, see you inside!" Hikari smiled. Kei waited for Hikari to enter and he entered the jet after her. Kei led the way to the pilot room and they took their designated seats and put on safety things.
"Are they inside yet?" Hikari asked Kei. Kei looked outside and saw Tadashi waving a rock, Kei nodded. Tadashi threw the rock inside the jet and in continued to echo inside.
"I think they've settled in." Kei said. Hikari looked at him and suspected.
"Really? But I don't hear voices." Hikari said. Kei looked outside again and signaled Akira and Tadashi about their voices. All of them shouted adlibs while remaining outside the jet.
"Tadashi! You're steeping on my foot!" Akira shouted, making it sound that she was inside.
"Oh, right, sorry!" Tadashi shouted.
"Megumi, come here." Jun shouted but in a calm tone.
Hikari smiled and shouted.
"Okay, we're taking off!" she said. Then, she looked around her, she saw many buttons. She looked at Kei.
"Takishima."
"Yeah?"
"What do you do with these buttons?" Hikari asked.
"Oh, let me do the work and you just stay there." Kei said. Then, they took off. Akira and the guys looked at the plane as it took off.
"Well, it's up to Kei." Akira smiled. "If he hurt even a strand of Hikari's hair, I'll kill him." She added.
"Akira, relax, they're going to be fine, let's just wait ok?" Tadashi said. "And while waiting, let's go exploring!"
Akira punched him, Megumi hit him with her board and Jun tied his neck to a rope and gave the end of the rope to Akira.
"No exploring." Akira said, dragging her boyfriend off.
